<pre>Could you also clarify what "screen size" and "monitor size" mean and what they
are used for via Xwayland? I kind of know what they are in X11, but I have no
idea how X11 applications use them.
E.g. for fullscreening, I would hope apps used WM protocols to ask what their
fullscreen size should be, but I understand that's wishful thinking. So how
exactly are these details used?
This report sound like a continuation of the long irc discussion I had with
Olivier Fourdan, where talked about how one could support HiDPI and mixed-dpi
systems with Xwayland. Should we include that topic here as well?
You now want to support fractional scaling behind applications' back. Was this
not foreseen when the wl_output and wl_buffer scale protocol was designed? What
has changed? Why is it now feasible?</pre>
